If this is how famous people start encouraging philanthropy I'm all for it. Take advantage of your influence.

But they won’t talk about that tho, which to me if they’re going to tell a story to attempt to paint a narrative, they should tell everything.

Feel like his philanthropy has been pretty well documented, no?
- 16,936

Documented, yes. But if there is anything else that they can put out there that can overshadow his philanthropic efforts then I think that’s what they do first, and often, and somewhere in the white noise of it all then they’ll bring up the good **** that he’s done off of the court.

it is but we got screaming A calling that man selfish every time he gets a chance. Myrie tweet some vague stuff and it’s a lightning rod. Him giving back is one of the last things you hear about
Even with the above tweet of the clothing line, highly unlikely people thought he was giving back. Just more ‘selfishness’

It's always an immediate rebuttal when talking about something negative he's said or done.
They're not mutually exclusive.

Exactly.

what has Kyrie done that’s negative?

The Bulls clearly have a full on outbreak and are still traveling from city to city playing games
WTF is the NBA doing?

Ehh IDC. People have gotten too concerned about what their money is going to. If you're not willing to do the due diligence/go actively do the philanthropy yourself, you remove the right to ask a bunch of questions. You're giving money to an amorphous thing and HOPING the right thing is being done.

In the words of Terrance Thornton, they’re putting “numbers on the board”.

they still making money hand over fist. All still have all NBA guys though he’s not there. Cavs should have retired his jersey already

Like its cool and commendable that Kyrie gives back but it doesn’t make him less of a clown when it comes to other issues.Both things can be true.

Yeah that was the tweet I saw, definitely didn't post it as a statement of agreement. People love to point fingers man and be judgy.
- 72,837

I completely understand what you're saying. But I also think it's completely natural for sports media to discuss what he's actually doing basketball-wise most prominently
Having to then comment on what he does philanthropically as a caveat is just odd.

I think it depends on the source/person. Every time I say something about Lebby, Kyrie, Rustle, etc that may be viewed as a criticism,I make it clear that I respect all that they've done off the court for a variety of people. It speaks to high moral character. But that doesn't mean other parts of them, both on and off the court, are not flawed. Most of them aren't even "meaningful" flaws/actions but as professional athletes and public figures, they are going to be brought up.
